Lance and all,
Quote from White's book, "Offenhauser". "The 159 cubic inch Offy
developed more horsepower per cubic inch-about 7.5-than any other engine
the world had then produced." (That's 1192hp). (That was in 1972-3)
"...while John Miller was running a turbo Offy on the All American
Racers dyno the waste gate froze shut. The engine's revs jumped to
10,200, and the engine put out nearly 1400 horsepower- about that of the
Merlin engine used in the World War II P-51 Mustang fighter."
Its a great book about a great engine family. I highly recommend it.
David
